What Is the Password Editor
This utility program creates SOFTERM.PWD -- the file Softerm uses to provide
the optional security feature for Host Mode.
Note: If there are no existing password files, use the Record menu's Add
option to create an entry. Then use the File menu's Save As option to create
the password file.
Important: If Host Mode finds the SOFTERM.PWD file, security processing
automatically is performed for each caller. If you do not want any logon
processing, ensure that SOFTERM.PWD does not exist. And remember, this can be
a hidden file.
Security includes being able to limit the directories which can be accessed by
each user and restricting the commands each user can use in Host Mode. For
additional information, please refer to the Host Mode and Script Files chapters
in the documentation.
When a caller connects to your system and Host Mode finds the SOFTERM.PWD file,
a logon sequence prompts the caller for a valid user name and password.
